	My trips to Paros Greece Trip To Paros Island August 2004 And August 2005 1) Paros 2004 summer First time I have been on Paros island in summer 04 with my friend and it was easy trip for fun and swim after couple of days in Athens. We took ferry from Pireus port with Blue star company. It tooks about 5 hours to get to Paros. The boat stoped also in Syros Island. It was long and we got little sic as the sea was a bit wilde. The boat was full of passanger as it was in the middle of the summer season. Jerry drunk bottle of white wine and more then half of the time on the boat spent with beautiful blond greek lady. Unfortunately for him she headed to Naxos Island We arrived around 9pm and right in the port of Paros were waiting people offering accommodation in all kind of facilities private apartments, villas, pensoins but also hotels. We agreed prices with one of them - they promis you anything you ask for soecialy if you ask if the accommodation is near the beach. You get always 100 % positive answer that it is 200 meters. Count with that. But we were surpriced how nice was the room in small pensoin. It was lets say 5-10 min walk to the sea and it was ok with us. There is in Paros all kind of bars, coctails bars, restaurants. And the best ones are on the sea side of the town. Night are long but time runs fast even faster if you have few days. It is much better to rent a car to explore the island otherwise you have to spend all time in one place. There is bus and taxi available but you would need someone to organisate it. There are pleanty of friendly people on Paros Island working in local pubs, bars or internet caffe. Some of them are forighners who fell in love with the island who come for few weeks and stay for ever..... On the day of our planed departure we had to satay longer due the thunderstorm on sea coz all the ferry were cancelled. And some of locals told us that similar happened while ago and there was no food after while.... we took it like a joke but little confus you .... Fortunately the sea became better after 2 days and we moved to Syros Island 2) After more then year I have returned to Paros Island August 2005 This time we made family trip with my parents and my girlfriend. The Paros island was not planed but due the unforeseeable circumstances we visited also the Paros island. Simply we missed our boat in Pireus port to Naxos and therefor i liked to go to any island on the way instead of spend all day waiting in the port in Athens. In the full season like is August there is no chance to buy the ferry tickets for the last minute as we found out. So, we took ferry to Paros which is Island just before Naxos. The only left tickets were for the fist class (almost double price) and by the slow (normal boat) we had booked tickets for high speed boat originaly. The ferry was really full. We are slept during the way as we have been tired. And we had no idea what is waiting for us on Paros..... Simply to say - on Paros leave the boat 1700 people (all mof them with some kind of accommodation reservation) we 4 had nothing booked in advance. I expected from mlast year some people will be offering hotels in the port. No, no offers. There were plenty of people waiting for the baot but just holding cards with names to collect their guests to the hotels. After hopeless looking around I have asked lady standing in tourist stand for help. She was very nice and helpful even she has already close she really tried to call and ask. It was 2am ! After 20 min she turn to me and told me that she found 1 double room in private apartment and 1 double room maybe in hotel. We took it without thinking. First we went to the private room leave my and Kristina ludgagge and go to the hotel to accommadate my parents. We got the hotel but the staff there told us that the room will be maybe available in few hours ! That was after 3am. We say thank you and walk with hope to find another one. But nothing was available. My parents end up in camping where they got a tent to sleep. They were ok with that for one night. In the morning woke up us a big rain! Very unusuall in Paros in Auhust! We spend all day around the island touring, it was little cold for swiming after the rain and at the afternoon we take a boat to Naxos Island ....
